Lyons is a small town
nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon.
In 1880, Captain James C.
Lyons and Henry Lyons, two Irish brothers, founded Lyons in the scenic
North Santiam Canyon, 23 miles east of Salem. Other settlers soon
followed
from Scotland, Kansas and the Plains.
In the early years
the timber industry and the railroad played an important role in Lyon's
economy. The timber industry is still strong and in recent
years the North Santiam River, which rushes along the northern side of
town, has become well known for its fishing and white water
recreational activities.
Lyons incorporated in
1958 with a population of 400; it has now grown to 1,105.
John Neal Memorial Park, on the banks of the North Santiam, was
dedicated in 1963. The Lyons Memorial Park, next to City Hall, was
dedicated in 1972. A children's playground, by generous
donations, was added to the park in 1996.
Freres City Park is located on 13th Street by the Beaver Ponds.
Mari-Linn Grade School, the Library, the Santiam Valley Grange, various churches, clubs and retail businesses are all vital parts of our community.
